TechFast Light Duty Timber to Steel Roofing Screws 5.5 x 65mm Elementech Box 100

Forgefix TechFast Timber to Steel CSK/Wing Screws are specially designed for the effective joining of timber to steel frame structures, making them an essential component in modern construction projects. These screws incorporate innovative features that enhance their performance and usability.

Unique Breakaway Wing Design

One of the standout characteristics of the TechFast screws is their fitted breakaway wings. These wings serve a vital function by creating a clearance hole that prevents the screw's thread from engaging with the timber during the drilling process. The breakaway wings ream out a hole and will break off once they make contact with the steel surface. This design ensures that the screw can effectively engage with the metal, providing a secure connection.

Enhanced Drilling and Power Transmission

These screws come equipped with a No.3 drill tip, which is specifically engineered for self-drilling into light gauge steel up to 5mm thick. This allows for efficient drilling and reduces the need for pre-drilling, saving time and effort on site. Additionally, the screws feature a TORX compatible insert. This insert significantly enhances power transmission during installation, leading to better performance and reduced risk of stripping.

Improved Countersinking and Protection

The TechFast screws boast improved countersinking capabilities due to their recessed ribs. This feature ensures a flush finish once the screw is driven into the material, providing not only an aesthetically pleasing result but also additional security in the fastening. Furthermore, these screws are fire and corrosion resistant, contributing to the longevity and durability of the connections they form in buildings.

Compliance and Safety Standards

Safety and environmental compliance are paramount in construction materials. Forgefix TechFast Timber to Steel CSK/Wing Screws meet stringent EU safety, health, and environmental regulations, ensuring that they are a trustworthy choice for construction professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.
